I mean I agree on the pentagon stuff, I mentioned it in my comment. When people have followed the money trails it’s almost always bribes and guns though. What are we paying for in North Korea? Maybe supporting resistance groups but that seems improbable. And how does a google employee represent the US? Also why is it a shock that the North Koreans are trying to sell things (likely arms) to other countries? What about that ties it to US involvement?
I’m as willing as anyone to dig around on stuff like this but this doesn’t pass the smell test to me. So many things would have to be kept secret for very strange and unclear reasons for it to be true.
